The image that is being portrayed on the book is an example of cyberbullying.

The monitor of the computer apparently, has an arm sticking out while pointing at a
crying woman. Cyberbullying is an epidemic to the millennials. Yes, for me it is an
epidemic, because people, specially teenagers are dying from this. This epidemic
attacks the person emotionally, and usually the person being attacked by this has
low self-esteem and it can lead to an increase in suicidal ideation. According to
Wikipedia, victims may have variety of emotional response, including being scared,
frustrated, angry or depressed.

The arm pointing to the woman represents judgement, dominance, hate

accusations, and so much more that can affect or hurt other people, thus, why the
woman is crying. According to Wikipedia, Cyberbullying or cyberharassment is a
form of bullying or harassing others using electronic means. Cyberbullying are also
known as online bullying. It has become increasingly common, especially among
teenagers. Cyber bullying is when someone, typically teens, bully or harass others
on social media cites or apps.

Teens are the one mostly doing and the victim to this. The millennials nowadays
has been exposed to gadgets at a very early stage, on my observation parents use
YouTube videos to calm and put their children to sleep. The millennials now is active
on social media, Facebook, twitter, Instagram and more. In these social medias one
can interact with other people all around the world. We can also post our current
status or feelings, photos and comments. When one post something, others can
judge them because it is viewed by the public. This is where the bullying starts.
Since every human being has different point of view and opinion, others will take the
step to contradict other people, to justify their opinion and comment what they want.
And on the other side of this is the victim where he or she is just putting their own
point of view and is not doing this to be judged or criticize.

But there are also posts that you can really say that it deserves criticism such as,
malicious or sexual content, scammers, or bullies that are really proud of
themselves. For me these people needs to be criticized or banned to use internet or
any social media platforms because these are the people that causes this certain
things. I know for a fact that if you are worst than that bully, but they deserve to know
that what they did is wrong, and what I mean of criticizing is only telling them of their
wrong doing and they still repeat it social media platforms nowadays has a report
feature, you can report people that post these kinds of things and hopefully they will
take action.

Its very sad to know that the report feature of some social media platforms are
just there and it is very useless because it does nothing. In my experience, there was
this bully that I saw when I was scrolling at my newsfeed, and its not just me but
other people noticed this bully and they all reported him, and I did some research
about the situation and found out that this bully really is a bad guy and he doesn’t
care if they reported him. I also reported him but it seemed like nothing happed and
that bully continued to harass other people. But there is another way avoiding these
kinds of people, you can block these kinds of people and they will not bother you
ever again. Because when you block a certain person, that person can no longer
comment on your post, message you, or even search for you. And I think that it is
more effective than just reporting the bully.

Other people doesn’t know how deal with criticism and are very sensitive to this,
and that’s why when all the criticism and judgement builds up, that person can snap
and will have suicidal thoughts and is very alarming to others especially when
teenagers undergo this their parents will be worried and that is just when their
parents finds out about this, what about is they don’t, some teenagers nowadays are
not even close to their parents, and because of this they will not have someone to
tell their problems with. And when that happens a high probability of suicide is to be
expected.

In my opinion, to counter this epidemic is, parents should be more close to their
children and ask if there is something bothering to their child, teenagers, should also
be close to their parents and be open with them, also, avoid posting bad things to
avoid criticism and never bully other people, and nowadays the new curriculum is
teaching computer ethics and internet laws. Teenagers must learn these things to be
aware of the do’s and don’ts in the internet or any social media platform.
